| Obverse description | A large eleven-point star dominates the center of the field, with a small effigy of Queen Elizabeth II positioned at the upper portion of the star. The denomination appears below the central star motif. The legend encircles the design, reading 'ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS · ONE DOLLAR ·' in Latin script along the periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold sculptural representation of a crab, the symbol of the Cancer zodiac sign, rendered in high relief against a dark field. The astrological glyph for Cancer appears to the upper left. At the center, a large radially engine-turned disc with fine sunburst lines radiates from a central point, overlapping the body of the crab. The crab's claws and legs extend prominently around the lower and lateral portions of the field, creating a dramatic three-dimensional composition typical of this zodiac commemorative series. |
